hmmmm, who to believe on engineering issues... Popular Mechanics or Charlie Sheen

Good move by Angelo. Moving up in the draft isn't enough for Briggs.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 1, 2007 -> 06:12 PM) For over two hundred years we have lived without this law, how? What great social problems are we trying to fix? I don't think there was a problem with planes being hijacked 200 years ago. Laws can be created and changed for a reason. If this new law ends up being abused, then it can be changed. There is no great social problem being fixed, just protecting airline passengers who report suspicious activity from threats and intimidation. It's a good law and it easily passed.

I got an idea. We can just have a seperate, super politically correct, airline for Texsox and anyone else offended. This airline will do no background checks, let anyone on, have no security checks (they are an invasion of privacy) and never profile. Of course, this airline will ignore all suspicious activity. They can fly on that, i'll fly on the other ones (cause i'm a jerk). Of course, this perfect airline company would have to have some sort of remote detination system for when the inevitable, and probably instant, hijacking of these planes occurs. Can't have Politically Correct airline planes flyng into buildings. they just blow up in the sky once hijacked.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 1, 2007 -> 04:41 PM) If you can already report the crime anonymously why do we need this law? "complete morons that would not recognize an obvious false claim", do you mean those like the Imams? If a person files repeat bs terrorist threats they should be held accountable - this law would prevent it. We are taking away protections from innocent Americans. That's my point. Give away your rights if you will. After all, if we give away all our rights, the terrorists can't take them away from us, and we'll keep the American way of life. The law is an extension of existing laws on anonymity in reporting crime. As far as the imams, yes they are morons and no they were not falsely accused of suspicious behavior. They should have been booted off the plane. Your mellow dramatic speech about "oh, protect the innocent, don't take away my rights" is way off base and sappy. What right is being taken away? your right to cause a major disturbance on an airline? well, that 'right' should be taken away. And exactly where does this law give immunity people who file repeat false claims? I don't think it does, it protects passengers from being sued from reporting a claim.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 1, 2007 -> 02:46 PM) How would you protect innocent Americans from being unfairly targeted? What this law allows is for anyone to accuse anyone of being a terrorist for any reason. Getting bumped from a flight? Accuse the dark complected guy of being a terrorist. You are taking away the rights of innocent Americans from being unjustly accused of a crime. Shouldn't innocent Americans be protected from that? How would you feel after being striped searched and questioned for twelve hours because some idiot didn't like you praying? Or you cut him off in the parking lot? You can already report a crime to the police and remain anonymous, you should be able to report suspicious terrorist activity on an airplane with anonymity. If a person files repeat bs terrorist threats they should be held accountable. I don't think people are going to be strip searched for 12 hours because they cut in line at the airport donut shop and someone reported them as a terrorist. You are assuming the majority of people that work for the government to help keep airplanes safe are complete morons that would not recognize an obvious false claim.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Mar 30, 2007 -> 06:22 PM) My only hope for Buerhle is that he doesnt stink so bad that people dont want to trade for him. That would be the worst case scenario. if he keeps this up even his precious cards won't want him

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Mar 30, 2007 -> 06:20 PM) I'm guessing if I was defending Mr. 4-3 and asked if someone was "dense," it'd be a different story. why would you even bother posting over there. that board blows. just a bunch of nerds ass kissing the mods.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Mar 29, 2007 -> 08:18 PM) this thread is a real change of pace.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Mar 30, 2007 -> 04:03 PM) Is this game gonna be on 670 the score. Farmio time? i was listening to the pre-game and he said "a first inning slam puts the sox up 4-0". but that just left me wondering what the score would be with a bases loaded clearing double....

I have a feeling Detroit is going to stumble this year. More worried about cleveland having a bounce back year. i'm optimistic on the White Sox chances of taking the division.

pfft, there's no way those psycho teachers would have got my legos. let go my lego, beatch!

i saw this on CSPAN last night. it was funny.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Mar 29, 2007 -> 02:46 PM) I was thinking of a different kind of bust. I would post examples, but it keeps saying I am over my limit? I thought you could never have too much bust! you are correct alpha dog, that is another type of useful bust. but i believe you can have too much of that type of bust. it's more of the quality rather than quantity in my opinion.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 29, 2007 -> 02:31 PM) This thread started with the New York Times calling for the AG to leave. Unsurprisingly, not many people seemed to care, since after all, it was the NYT opinion page, and even I'll grant that it's a left-leaning page. Today, I continue this thread by noting that the National Review is now also calling for the AG's removal. Blasted Commies @ the NR... since when do you read the National Review?

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Mar 28, 2007 -> 11:55 PM) but, completely unrelated to that, let me ask - is a bust better than nothing? Actually, a bust is worse than nothing. You have to pay the 6th pick overall a large signing bonus, so if he turns out to be a bust you lose out (but thats the chance you have to take). Unless, or course, by "bust" you meant a bronze Mozart sculpture that you put on your grand piano. In that case the bust is definately better than nothing.
